Edamam recipes
Edamam's Recipe Search API indexes millions of recipes crawled from across the web, letting apps query by ingredient, diet label, cuisine, or nutrient target and returning structured recipe metadata with a link back to the source site. A live GET against the real gateway, api.edamam.com, returned the same genuine 401 'Unauthorized app_id' JSON error carrying an echoed Access-Control-Allow-Origin header as its nutrition sibling, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth in the same probe.

- Sign up with the provider to get an API key.
- Send it on every request as a header
Authorization: <key> - The exact header isn't documented — Authorization is a common default; confirm in the provider's docs.
Your key is stored only in this browser (localStorage) and sent directly to the API — never to greatapis.
